Safety Recordkeeping: 10 Common Mistakes To Avoid

But what exactly, in regards to environmental health &safety, should we document? And how? There are many OSHA regulations to consider, and making a mistake can cost thousands of dollars in fines.

How much can OSHA violations cost you? Well, the simple mistake of placing check-mark in the wrong column on the OSHA 300 Log can result in a fine of $5,000. Forgot to post the OSHA 300A Annual Summary? That fine can cost you $7,000. How about not reporting to OSHA, within 8 hours, a workplace fatality or hospitalization of three or more employees (one employee in some states)? That fine is a minimum of $5,000.

But you can avoid citations and fines by taking some basic steps in maintaining good safety documentation. This interactive audio conference covers the hot spots in safety documentation that most employers experience. You will learn tips for proper documentation procedures, as well as how effective documentation can help protect your organization.
